I really hope the donkeys don't boycott due to the swine flu epidemic as I am going up to watch the dogs thrash them,
Tough cookies if they havn't had enough preparation time. The show must go on.

If they do forfeit, then the dogs should get the two points(make up for the game we were robbed against for the no try against the dragons). Any thoughts?

Sanity prevails and the game will go ahead as scheduled with the players overruling the officials.

BRISBANE players last night overruled officials, who threatened to forfeit tonight's match against the Bulldogs at Suncorp Stadium after the club was unable to train this week following an outbreak of swine flu.

A furious Broncos chief executive Bruno Cullen claimed yesterday his players would not play unless the game was shifted to Sunday afternoon so his side could train at least once this week.

But the players last night decided to play despite Cullen's call.
